How to meet your GPT-4 needs with a low-cost integrated AI application?

In the future, when you call GPT-4 to polish text, you probably won’t need to anxiously monitor your API usage.

A few days ago, I introduced to you “How to use AI to help me write code and replace paid AI applications?”. In it, there is a key step that still costs quite a bit. That is to use GPT-4 to polish the results of voice input. If the text input is a bit longer, I feel heartache just watching the program run. It’s not that I feel sorry for the hard work of the program, but I feel sorry for my wallet.

There’s no way around it, GPT-4 is far superior to the cheaper ChatGPT 3.5. So at this stage, I still have to rely on it to organize and polish the text of voice input. Why don’t I use the Claude API? I don’t have permission 😂

Actually, not only do we encounter this problem of high cost of GPT-4 calls when we program ourselves. Whether it was using Tana AI Command or any other third-party application, as long as it asked me to enter the OpenAI API Key, my heart would tremble.

Will they sell or leak my OpenAI API Key information to others? Is there a billing prompt when using it? Will it max out my credit card if I’m not careful?
